is dramatically advancing the cause of the appearance of the New Age Christ
(Antichrist). Long a New Age advocate, Oprah is now "pulling out all the
stops" in her promotion of Antichrist and his doctrines.

On 11/8/07 New Age leader and Oprah & Friends XM Satellite
reporter Marianne
Williamson put up a "Big News!" announcement on her www.marianne.com
website. Her announcement seemed quite confident and authoritative. She even
had a link to Oprah & Friends XM Satellite Radio. She wrote:

Big News!
Beginning January 1, 2008, I will be teaching A Course in Miracles daily on
Oprah
& Friends XM 156. For one year, we will go through the entire Course.
If this is of interest to you, get your XM ready, take your Course off the
shelf or order a copy. We're going to do the Course, and stay the course!

On 11/09/07 Herescope posted an article by former
New Age follower Warren Smith entitled Oprah
and Friends to Teach Course on New Age Christ. In that article Smith presented
significant concerns about Oprah & Friends teaching this New Age Course
in Miracles. Many years ago he was a devoted student of A Course in Miracles
and he discovered that the teachings of the Course - supposedly "new revelation"
channeled from "Jesus" - were diametrically opposed to the teachings
of the true Jesus Christ of the Bible. He came to understand that the "Jesus"
of A Course in Miracles was one of the false christs that the real Jesus warned
His followers to watch out for:

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed
that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many." (Matthew 24:3-5)

Shortly after the posting of Smith's article and the two
subsequent articles on Herescope, there was considerable concern - at least
in Christian circles - that Oprah was using her radio program to teach this
New Age Course. Many Internet sources cited what was happening. Amidst the uproar,
Marianne Williamson's "Big News!" announcement suddenly disappeared
from her website. All attempts to get information on why Williamson withdrew
her announcement were to no avail.

However, Marianne Williamson has just posted a new announcement on her website
that seems to take the place of the "Big News!" announcement of several
days ago:

Starting January 1 on Oprah
and Friends XM156, I will be discussing my daily reflections on A Course
in Miracles. Watch this space for details.

Send me any questions you have about A Course in Miracles and its application
to your daily life. Some of these questions will be used on my radio show. (Be
sure to include your phone number.)

According to this new announcement, Williamson is pulling back from "teaching"
A Course in Miracles and is now offering her "daily reflections" on
the Course. This subtle semantic change may indicate a change in strategy. However,
this type of maneuvering around potentially controversial New Age agendas by
Oprah and her staff has been noted previously. For example, bestselling author
Neale Donald Walsch told colleagues at a New Age Humanity's Team conference
in Portland, Oregon, in 2003, that Oprah had flown him to Chicago for a two-hour
interview with him that never aired. Walsch explained what happened:

Oprah brought me to Chicago. She loves Conversations. In fact she says it
is her favorite book. She says that on the air—“This is my favorite
book”—and she holds up Conversations with God. So she brought
me to Chicago and she said, “Let’s do two hours.” I’m
gonna do a two hour special. And she interviewed me on videotape for two hours
and we had a fascinating conversation, the way only Oprah can, ‘cause
she gets right into the interior of it. And I went back home, flying back
home, and I thought, “My God, they’re going to do a two-hour special.
This is incredible… talk about zooming sales.” And I went home
and… it stayed in the can for a year and a half. I did not call her,
‘cause I didn’t want to bother Oprah with, you know, “Where
is my program? When are you going to put it on?” …But finally
the producer called us and said, “You know, Neale, we just can’t
use it. You are so incredibly provocative in what you’re saying about
your relationship with God, humanity’s relationship with God, where
religion currently stands in the world etc., etc.,… that we’ve
looked at this thing, we’ve watched this program eight times and all
of us agree it’s just too soon. You’re way ahead of the curve,
we can’t put this on now.”*

In an April 5, 2007 Oprah & Friends radio interview with Esther Hicks -
a woman who channels out-of-body entities that singularly refer to themselves
as "Abraham" - Oprah confessed that her television viewers weren't
ready for her to be talking to channeled out-of-body entities. She said:

I am talking to Esther Hicks here, who is, I am saying today, the secret
behind The Secret because she . . . is a big, big, big part, she and her husband
Jerry, of the creation of the DVD that Rhonda Byrne did. . . . But she is
here in our studio and I am going to ask you to channel Abraham, and let me
just say, the reason why I wanted you to do this on the radio is because the
television audience isn't ready for it. . . .

This radio
interview, posted on the dedicated New Age Spiritual
Inspiration.info website, is really difficult to listen to because it involves
occult channeling, so the listener should beware. Sadly, one quickly realizes
the depth of Oprah's New Age beliefs when listening to this interview. And the
reader of Herescope is reminded to pray for these two women who are so deeply
drawn into spiritual deception.

The other issue here is not Oprah's right to present her New Age views - but
to be honest with her viewers and listeners about these beliefs. For over twenty
years Oprah has been taking her viewers and listeners step-by-step deeper into
the New Age teachings. It is time for her to stop pretending that her New Age
"Jesus" is the same as the Jesus of her Baptist youth. The "Jesus"
of A Course in Miracles and the "Jesus" of the New Age bear absolutely
no resemblance to the Jesus found in the Holy Bible.

It seems apparent that in early November someone calculated that the time was
right for Marianne Williamson to teach the year-long, 365 lessons of A Course
in Miracles on Oprah & Friends XM Satellite Radio. But one has to wonder
if this situation, like the one described by Neale Donald Walsch above, was
"just too soon" and too "way ahead of the curve" in teaching
the year-long Course at this time.

What difference does it make whether Marianne Williamson is "teaching"
A Course in Miracles directly, or "teaching" it indirectly by providing
"reflections" on it? Whatever the case, whether through "reflection"
or "teaching," this year-long study of the Course, designed for listener
participation, will lead many deeper into spiritual darkness.

The Biblical Truth:

"And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul,
thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am
not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
For the king knoweth of these things before whom also I speak freely: for I
am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was
not done in a corner. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that
thou believest,

"Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian."
(Acts 26:24-28)

Cutting Edge Note:

New Age deception like this is extremely serious, leading potentially millions
of people astray and into the very pit of the Abyss. Furthermore, the fact that
such spiritual deception is now occurring on the extremely popular Oprah Winfrey
Show and Radio, is proof positive that the world is getting so close to the
actual appearance of Antichrist that the Global Elite has decided to "multiply"
the message of Antichrist deception with Oprah!

I can only think of this prophetic Scripture:

"The coming of the lawless one, the antichrist is through the
activity and working of Satan and will be attended by great power and with
all sorts of pretended miracles and signs and delusive marvels--all of them
lying wonders-- And by unlimited seduction to evil and with all wicked deception
for those who are perishing (going to perdition) because they did not welcome
the Truth but refused to love it that they might be saved. Therefore, God
sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error and a strong delusion
to make them believe what is false, In order that all may be judged and condemned
who did not believe in [who refused to adhere to, trust in, and rely on] the
Truth, but instead took pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians
2:9-12; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary)

People like these following the New Age principles on the Oprah Winfrey Show
are prime candidates to receive God's dreaded "strong delusion" once
Antichrist has arisen, a deception designed to cement them in their deception,
so they cannot see the Truth and be saved. Truly, the End of the Age is coming
upon mankind quickly.

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your
loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand
the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect
your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly
trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion
with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen
people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time
when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ
as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with
Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will
instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then,
you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If
you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality
and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal
Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him
as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if
you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist
will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become
Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks
to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order --
Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
